Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 11, 2022, Lantheus Two, LLC ("Lantheus Two"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the "PNT-2002License Agreement") with an affiliate of POINT Biopharma Global Inc. ("POINT"), to co-developand commercialize PNT-2002,a prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy for the treatment of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. ("LMI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will guarantee Lantheus Two's obligations under the PNT-2002License Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the PNT-2002License Agreement, POINT has granted to Lantheus Two exclusive rights to develop and commercialize PNT-2002worldwide, except certain countries in Asia (the "Territory"). The parties' collaboration is governed through an executive steering committee and joint functional steering committees. The effectiveness of the transactions contemplated under the PNT-2002License Agreement are subject to specified conditions, including the expiration or early termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act").

POINT is generally responsible for funding and development activities required for U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of PNT-2002,including generating all clinical and nonclinical data, analysis and other information, and Lantheus Two is responsible for preparing for and seeking regulatory approval for PNT-2002,as well as performing and funding all future development and commercialization of PNT-2002following such approval. POINT will be responsible for all manufacturing of PNT-2002,subject to certain exceptions described in the PNT-2002License Agreement.

Prior to achieving that financial recoupment threshold, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of twenty percent on that portion of annual net sales of PNT-2002in the Territory that generate annual gross profit in excess of specified levels.

The PNT-2002License Agreement will remain in effect, unless terminated earlier, until the expiration of all royalty terms for PNT-2002in the Territory. The PNT-2002License Agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach of the other party or bankruptcy of the other party. The PNT-2002License Agreement may be terminated prior to becoming effective upon the failure of certain closing conditions or upon notice from either party if the PNT-2002License Agreement has not been consummated on or prior to June 30, 2023, which date Lantheus Two may extend to August 30, 2023 upon payment of an extension fee. Lantheus Two may terminate the PNT-2002License Agreement without cause on specified notice periods, subject to the passage of time and specified milestones or triggers.
